Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller will retail for £75, Joy-Con 2 controllers for £75, and the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera for £50.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of games will feature improvements such as better visuals, or exclusive features.
Switch 2 Edition games are separate from standard Switch 2 backwards compatibility and need to either be purchased separately, or upgraded to for owners of Switch 1 versions.
Nintendo hasn’t announced how much each individual upgrade will cost. However, for both Zelda games, subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online service will receive the upgrades for free.
Nintendo has also announced that several future titles will receive Nintendo Switch 2 Editions, such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
